Review from Rainier C (Father of Child) published on 17 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience with Tinky's has been great and I'm hoping that when my daughter moves on to reception class is that she'll have a similar standard of care and environment. Tinky's is a brand new nursery that checks all the marks and they have an onsite chef and kitchen but their main asset is the staff that work there. I can see the level of care and love everyone gives to my daughter in Tinky's despite her tantrums. That says a lot and no amount of monetary value can compare to that. I'd highly recommend Tinky's to any parent.

Overall Experience

Outstanding nursery! My child has been attending the toddler room since October and he is moving to the preschool room, as he’s 3 now. I am so pleased with the nursery. I feel very confident leaving my son there and he is always asking me when he is going again. All the staff are really caring and understanding and are also great with feedback. I can see he has developed extremely well in just 3 months! Don’t even hesitate in sending your child here.

My daughter has been attending Tinky's nursery since April of this year. She is two years old and is in the toddlers' room. I am very pleased with the nursery - the staff are caring and attentive, the management keep us regularly informed and above all, my daughter loves attending.

Overall Experience

So happy to have chosen Tinky's for our twins! They have good facilities for the children's development. Clean, bright and airy; a perfect environment for children. The staff are good, friendly and very accommodating. They provide regular reports and updates, assuring parents of the care our children receive. I have seen the impact of attending a good nursery on my children, they have become friendly, comfortable and interactive with people.

Overall Experience

My son goes here and we couldn't be happier. He always asks me over the weekend when he's going back to nursery to see all his teachers and peers. They organise a lot of activities for the children and their meals are delicious (my son always has seconds!) They are great with drop offs and pick up and understand working parents' struggles which makes life so much easier. Thank you Tinky's!

Overall Experience

Tinky's has been wonderful to my daughter. We were worried about her attachment issues but after 3 days, she was happy to go to "school" every day with no tantrums and no tears. All carers are wonderful, friendly and give attention to each child's needs. Also, they were very understanding in letting her have her lil comforter bear so now it's part of their class. They have become a part of our family. She calls them her Aunties. The rooms are very clean and neat too! Overall, I am happy we found Tinky's!

Review from Zenab R (Mother of Child) published on 12 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience with the nursery has been outstanding. Our little one moved from another nursery post-pandemic, and the team have been exemplary during his settling period. ‘Mums’ away from home, the staff had him settled within a few sessions, compared to his previous nursery, where months later I would find myself dropping and collecting a very miserable child. Quite naturally I was worried my child would struggle again in a new setting, but credit to the nursery, they have flipped both mine and my little one’s experience of nurseries! I do not look forward to moving him to school soon, as he loves it so much. I cannot thank the staff enough in their caring and genuine passion towards handling my son. He looks forward to going in and is extremely happy when I pick him up - and that is the crux of what every parent wants at that age.

Review from Katie C (Mother of Child) published on 12 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I knew from our first visit to Tinky's Day Nursery that this was the right place for our son.
From the first settle session I left feeling happy and content our son was safe and in great hands.
Our son looks forward to his days at Tinkys and I feel comfortable at work knowing he is enjoying himself and looked after.
I believe he will thrive and be supported and encouraged with the support of the staff.

Every member of staff I have dealt with has been a delight. I am so glad we chose Tinkys.

Overall Experience

We just moved to the UK a few months ago and I looked at several nurseries that just didn't seem right. My son doesn't speak any English and has separation anxiety after long months at home with us. Tinky's Day Nursery took him in with such love! He loves it there. They are open and communicative, share his day with us, helped us with funding and understanding of the way nurseries work here. Every kid goes in and comes out with a huge smile and it's so great to see.

Overall Experience

My boy has been attending the daycare only for a month and surprisingly for his parents he just never stops asking if he is going back tomorrow. I believe this the highest recommendation of the institution spoken by its little member. Thank you Tinky’s Day Nursery for taking such good care of our precious little boy.

Overall Experience
My daughter is very happy and all staff are amazing
I was looking for a nice environment and found Tinkys.
My daughter has a big smile when she arrives at the nursery.

They give a report at the end of the day saying how her day was, which is usually very positive.

Review from Renee L (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I chose Tinky's Day Nursery because it is an independently run, newly opened nursery, close to where I live. Extra curricular activities are included in the fee and when Covid-19 regulations came in, you had the flexibility of dropping off early and late without extra fees or penalties. This isn't something you find with other nurseries. I have had experience with two different nurseries with my other children and you get more of a personal one on one experience with Tinky's Day Nursery, which I personally haven't experienced anywhere else. The staff are professional and the nursery is well ran with a great balanced food menu. They go above and beyond for the children and parents. I would highly recommend Tinky's Day Nursery to anyone looking for a safe and secure environment for their child.

Overall Experience

Extremely high level of safety for the children. Very friendly, approachable and professional staff who go the extra miles to meet the needs of children and carers.

High level of hygiene and well-maintained premises.

Feedback on daily basis is offered, and staff ensure there's consistency in this which is quite informative for the purpose of development and progression of the children.
